The HERALDs friend, W. II. Stauber,

I
but he likes Kansas q great deal better
than Iowa.
Jas. b. Patterson, who resides about
| six miles south east of town, says his

looks splendidly. Mr.. Patterson is a
good farmer and rs matter of course
takes the HERALD, which he paid for
on Wednesday.
John Herring, one of the good farm
ers in the south part or the county says
the chinch bugs have not up TO this
time injured his crop though they are
pretty thick. Mr. Herring advises the
farmers TO quit trying to raise wheat
and to depend on corn. He says this
is a corn county, hence q cattle and
hog county.
Mr.. Timothy Gruweu, who resides
in Glenwood township, 10 miles north
west Of town, while here last Saturday
i paving his tax remembered the printer
and came in and order ed the HERALD
another year. He informed Us that he
was raised in Ohio and farmed maUy
years in johnson comfy, Iowa. He
has been in this county twelve years
and he likes this country better than
Iowa or Ohio. The climate is milder,
il is healthier, and the roads are better
while the soil IS just as good. Mr..
GruWell says the chinch bugs have
about destroyed the wheas and oats IN
his locality, but corn looks sDlendidly
and potatoes are fine
Mr.. Jesse Lee, living a few miles
southeast of town, squared up for the
official paper and renewed his subscrip-
ton last Saturday. We were interest
ed in his narrative Of incidents Of early
times in Phillips county. He came here
from Illinois sixteen years ago, when
there were about fifteen or twenty fam
lies in the county. He likes it so well
that he would not for any reasonable
consideration 90 back to the sucker
. /. state" This, he says. is emphatically
[ a corn and live stock county, and is not
so good for small grain: He has seen
dry years here, but thinks we will here
% after get plenty of rain. Mr.. Lee says
when he came to this county there were
= thousands of buffalo here.
